Sámara Hotel Guide - Playa Barrigona hotels in Sámara, Costa Rica.

"It was an amazing place! We loved the pools, the food and the ambience. Staff were amazing too only had one or two that were inattentive or didn’t want to help you. Our room was incredible. Just beautiful. Water machine, espresso machine. We loved it! "

"We absolutely loved this property. The pool and seating area around the pool was fantastic. The little details everywhere were beautiful. The seashells and the art were so lovely. Maite was a fantastic host. We hope to revisit one day!"

"We have a double room with 4 beds total. Second room didn’t have an air conditioner or fan"

"Staff were excellent. Very helpful and professional. Pool was pristine, perfectly kept. As usual, kitchenette could use better paring knives. Enjoyed wildlife: howler monkeys, racoons, coati, geckos, iguanas, birds, cat, two big spiders in web by check in! Off the beaten track so very private and quiet; personal cabins in midst of 'jungle'. Would go back and stay longer!"

"What a spectacular location, extremely private and beautiful. The accomodations are absolutely spotless and welcoming staff. But be sure you have four wheel drive or arrange for transportation. "

"Host welcoming, easy to communicate with. Good communication. "

"We loved the pool and outdoor area! The landscape is truly beautiful and the pool temperature perfect. The patio and barbecue for Casa Nautical really added to it. Inside we had some issues since the unit was not equipped with dish clothes, tea towels and there seemed to be a mix up with the cleaners that we were even there. They wash the sheets once a week but missed us and then brought the wrong size. The manager is prompt to offer solutions but it took a couple of weeks to get everything sorted. We were staying a month and the kitchen equipment was very basic but doable. The fridge is a mini with an open slot at the top for a freezer so you couldn’t store anything and it held one ice cube tray but took 2 days to freeze. I’m not sure if I would recommend a long term stay there if you’re hoping to cook in. There is a store very close that has most of what you’ll need but not a good meat selection. You can walk to town in 30 minutes and to the beach in 20. That was nice but part of the road is unpaved, rough and dusty and with the heat making it hard to carry groceries. We didn’t rent a car since we were told it was walkable. For a month though it was hard. We ended up renting a golf cart for the last 10 days and that was great but expensive. There’s a farm next door but you can’t really see it because of the beautiful hedges. You can sure hear it though especially the rooster which didn’t wait until morning to crow, and dogs that barked often at night. "

"We enjoyed the treehouse. I wish we had gotten precise directions to the treehouse before arrival. It would’ve been super easy to find if we had just had some directions. We had three nights with wind and the treehouse was definitely very creaky, the noise kept us up for most of the 3 nights.. some tree yeah branches were slamming against the house that kept us up . We loved the little kitchen downstairs that was very welll equipped and a good place to wake up in the morning."

"Best host and house manager and the home was exactly what you see from the pictures. Great location and the golf cart included was a game changer that made the stay so enjoyable and convenient. We couldn’t be happier with the hospitality and recommendations shared by the owner and host. Kind humans who go out of their way to make your stay memorable with nearly immediate response to any inquiries you might have during your stay. Can’t recommend enough. "
